Gold (GCZ25) prices this week hit another record high of $3,824.60, basis December Comex futures. Siver (SIZ25) prices this week scored a 14-year high of $44.77 in nearby Comex futures. Both markets this week have seen bullish upside technical “breakouts” from choppy trading ranges on the daily bar charts. Price action at mid-week is so far just routine profit taking or weak long liquidation from the shorter-term futures traders.
Remember that prices do not go straight up or straight down. Instead, price trends experience “corrections” opposite of the existing trend that are actually healthy for the existing trend to continue.
